The Strongest Outcast

Liu Xiaojiang first glanced at the short old woman, then politely nodded to Sun Desheng, and finally sat down opposite the old woman.

"Mr. Sun, please just say what you need to say. Given your relationship with the company, whatever it is, as long as it's not illegal..."

I will definitely get it done for you.

Sun Desheng is a patriotic entrepreneur who has even funded the company several times. Erzhuang had already explained his importance. In addition, Sun Desheng looks to be over 50 years old, so he should at least speak to him politely.

after all,

He not only looks like he's in his early twenties, but he also considers himself a young man in his early twenties. Therefore, both in public and private, he should respectfully address people over 50 as elders.

however,

Sun Desheng hadn't spoken yet,

The old woman beside him suddenly laughed: "Hehehe, young man, you've got some nerve. As an employee of the company, don't you know who I am?"

Upon hearing this,

Liu Xiaojiang glanced at the old woman calmly, "I know, you are one of the Ten Elders of the Extraordinary World, Guan Shihua... Senior."

Chapter 34 The Strange Old Man

Liu Xiaojiang has been working at Nadutong for a few days now, and naturally he has learned about the entire world of supernatural beings through the company. Even if he can't be familiar with every single supernatural being in the circle, it's still impossible for him not to have heard of the Ten Elders.

Guan Shihua was one of the Ten Elders whose sphere of influence was active in Northeast China.

He certainly knew.

"Know?"

Guan Shihua wasn't surprised at all that Liu Xiaojiang recognized her, and laughed again, "Hehehe, since you know this old woman, things will be much easier. Kid, tell me, what about you and those two little brats from the Bai family?"

What happened?

Upon hearing this,

Liu Xiaojiang's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm and composed. "Senior Guan Shihua, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh ho! Still pretty stubborn!"

Although Guan Shihua wasn't angry, her smile faded, and she said grimly, "Hmph, boy, stop pretending. Just because the younger generation doesn't know what you did doesn't mean this old woman doesn't know what happened."

Those bastards from the Bai family have already come knocking on our door.

"This junior truly did not know," Liu Xiaojiang stubbornly insisted, even pouring himself a cup of hot tea to feign composure.

"Kid, are you really an employee of the company, or just a temporary worker who only takes orders from Xiao Gao? Do you think that even an old woman wouldn't dare to touch you?"

hold head high?"

hum! ! !

The air inside the room froze instantly, and a chilling aura swept over everyone.

Guan Shihua was clearly quite old, perhaps even over a hundred years old, but as she gradually withdrew her kind smile, she still exuded an extremely strong sense of oppression.

This feeling is not the majesty of a superior, but purely comes from the difference in Qi and power!

have to say,

This was the first time Liu Xiaojiang had felt pressure from a superhuman. Although his power did not come from the 'Qi' that superhumans talked about, he could still sense that the amount of Qi in the other person's body far exceeded that of ordinary superhumans.

and……

This energy doesn't seem to belong entirely to the other party.

So far,

Liu Xiaojiang smiled and shook his head, putting down his teacup. He said, "Senior Guan Shihua, all I know is that the two things you mentioned were indeed killed by the Quanxing demons."

"Besides, if you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. If you want to cause trouble for me, then go ahead and do it now."

No reason needed.

"Fine!" A murderous glint flashed in Guan Shihua's eyes. "I'll kill you right now, and see how the company plans to resolve this!"

For a time,

Liu Xiaojiang suddenly felt the eerie and cold aura intensify, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how troublesome it was, and prepared himself for the possibility of being attacked at any moment.

however,

Seeing this situation, Sun Desheng was more nervous than anyone else. He immediately came over with a forced smile and said:

"Grandma, please calm down. Didn't you already say you wouldn't cause trouble for Mr. Liu? And now this is happening again..."

"Hehehe, the old woman isn't looking for trouble, she just wants to know what happened."

After he finished speaking,

The eerie atmosphere inside the room dissipated instantly.

Guan Shihua's face softened into a kind smile again, and she even looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a hint of appreciation, saying, "Kid, you're smart. Remember to say that next time, and no matter who asks, don't admit it."

I've already scolded those bastards from the Bai family back down."

"Hmph, they let the younger generation cause trouble here, but now that they're dead, they know to come to us for an explanation. I really don't know where all those hundreds of years of cultivation went."

"Oh, right, I also want to thank you, young man. Thank you for saving Lanlan back then, otherwise... I don't know where I'd put my face in the future."

"..." Liu Xiaojiang witnessed the old woman's transformation firsthand and didn't know what to say. He could only nod blankly, "Miss Lanlan? Oh, senior, you're too kind."

"What do you mean by 'senior' or 'elder'?"

Upon hearing the word "senior" again, Guan Shihua immediately straightened her face and said, "Young man, you can just call me Grandma like Lanlan does. Speaking of Lanlan, this old woman has long regarded her as her own granddaughter."

You saved her.

It's like saving my own granddaughter.

"We're family, no need to be so polite."

"Grandma...?" Liu Xiaojiang was a little confused.

"My dear grandson, I never imagined that at my age, I, Guan Shihua, would have such a handsome and adorable grandson. It's truly a blessing from my past life, hehehe..."

When Guan Shihua heard Liu Xiaojiang call her "Grandma," she immediately beamed and reached out to pat his head. The old woman's kind and gentle demeanor was nothing like the sinister and terrifying Tenth Elder she had encountered before.

Was I taken advantage of?

How come there's suddenly an extra grandmother?

Got it!

This time I've really become the subservient one...

Liu Xiaojiang looked at Guan Shihua across from him, and his lips twitched a few times. Although he did not understand the other party's way of doing things, he did not continue to offend the old lady because of her age and status.

"Grandma Guan, the Bai family you mentioned before, could it be those hedgehogs?"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense! They're immortals, what's with all this 'porcupine' stuff? Although what you said isn't wrong, we still have to give them some face."

Guan Shihua was slightly taken aback at first, then laughed loudly and nodded, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. Although her words showed some respect for the so-called immortals, her laughter was just as merciless...

A strange old man.

This is Liu Xiaojiang's assessment of the old woman after meeting Guan Shihua.

After confirming the true identity of the Bai family mentioned by Guan Shihua,

Liu Xiaojiang stopped pressing the matter about the Bai family and instead looked at the old woman opposite him on the sofa, saying, "Grandma Guan, since we have no conflict and both want to protect the Sun family from harassment by the strange people, then..."

Grandma, as one of the ten elders in the world of supernatural beings, have you ever heard of a supernatural ability or technique that can completely control others?

"Complete control?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Shihua realized that Liu Xiaojiang might have encountered something during the attack today, so she frowned and asked, "Young Liu, did you and Lanlan encounter something today?"

Why would you ask that?

Liu Xiaojiang nodded and said, "To be honest, the situation was indeed very strange at the time. The two guys on the other side clearly..."

He immediately explained the situation he had encountered that day, stating that the company had no clear record of this matter, and briefly indicated what he was suspecting.

After saying this,

Guan Shihua fell silent and pondered for a long time, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.

After a long time,

Guan Shihua suddenly looked up at Sun Desheng and said, "Little Sun, could you go out for a moment? I want to talk to Liu boy alone."

"Grandma, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

"Get lost! I said I wouldn't cause trouble for that brat Liu! And I definitely won't! Didn't you see he's already calling me 'Grandma'?!"

"But……"

"What do you, an ordinary person, want to know about the affairs of the supernatural world? Get out of here right now, you old woman!"

"Yes, yes, Grandma, I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."

Chapter 35 Grandma Guan

After Sun Desheng left,

Guan Shihua sat on the sofa and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Young Liu, although you sometimes act recklessly, everything you've done so far can at least be considered as having a clear conscience. Therefore, Grandma is kindly giving you some advice..."

Let's not dwell on this anymore.

"Why? As one of the Ten Elders, how could you be afraid of an unknown nobody who dares not show his face?" Liu Xiaojiang almost immediately understood that the old man in front of him must know something important.

Guan Shihua glared at Liu Xiaojiang, annoyed, and said, "Hmph, Liu boy, stop trying to provoke me. Since Grandma said you shouldn't get involved in this matter any longer..."

There's some truth to that.

"As someone who's been through it all, I understand that you've achieved such outstanding abilities at such a young age, and it's understandable that you might feel a little arrogant. But you must remember, there are always people more capable than you, and the sky's the limit."

The world of supernatural beings is far more complex than you imagine.

Having said that,

The old woman looked up at Liu Xiaojiang again, "Young Liu, I don't know why you possess such strength. You were able to hold your own against five members of the Quanxing Sect, and even easily kill two descendants of immortals."
